HP Ultrium 1840 SAS + HP P212 HBA
The P212 HBA turns up as a valid PCI controller using "lspci":
"20:00.0 RAID bus controller: Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array G6 controllers (rev 01)"
But when I try to list valid SCSI drives i.e. "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" attached to the system, there is nothing but my hard drives and CD/DVD showing.
Any ideas someone?
Thanks,
Beck

When the system boots does the HBA show the tape drive? It should show "Tape or CD-ROM at . . . "

Re: HP Ultrium 1840 SAS + HP P212 HBA
I've updated the HBA driver with:
"Smart Update Firmware DVD"
The tape drive is present at HBA boot time on:
"Port 2E Bay 5 Box 0"
However, the tape drive can't be found (or isn't listed) by the /proc/scsi/ subsystem. This is what I see:
Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD5000AADS-0

Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Re: HP Ultrium 1840 SAS + HP P212 HBA
The driver I have people use here is the RPM - I don't think the firmware update CD installs the latest driver. The latest driver file is: cpq_cciss-3.6.22-8.rhel5.i686.rpm
I just checked the support site for that controller and if I select RH 5 and 32 bit under Driver it only offers that file.
Here is one link to it for Red Hat 5 32 bit:

Re: HP Ultrium 1840 SAS + HP P212 HBA
do you have a ProLiant server or did you install the controller into a non-HP server model?

Re: HP Ultrium 1840 SAS + HP P212 HBA
The correct driver is critical when using tape. The legacy Smart Array driver doesn't support tape and many changes were made to the drivers (and the HBA firmware) to support tape and tape library devices. Because the Smart Array controllers aren't simple SCSI HBA's they only present devices to the OS that are supported devices and tape drives or tape libraries will not be present unless the driver understands how to talk to them.
